At this moment, the situation has taken a dramatic turn.

At the very beginning, it was Tang San who jumped out first and questioned Ye Qingcang. Ye Qingcang refuted Tang San with the logic that "you have no right to decide the ownership of the godhood." Tang San tried to refute Ye Qingcang's logic of "taking a step back," but was crushed again by Ye Qingcang's fact of being an "Evil Spirit Master." From beginning to end, except for the initial horn of attack, Tang San was constantly being chased and beaten by Ye Qingcang. Every word of his sharp questioning turned this verbal battle into a one-sided affair. Ye Qingcang's act of stopping Bai Chenxiang from taking action was in stark contrast to Tang Hao's hammer attack. Only at the very end did he produce the Chief Elder Token of the Clear Sky Sect. A series of actions were perfectly flawless.

Everyone understood what was going on.

Everyone understood what was going on.

So, what kind of answer will Tang Hao and Tang San give when faced with the Chief Elder Token of the Clear Sky Sect Ye Qingcang holding the token?

Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and everyone else present all focused their attention on Tang Hao and Tang San. Perhaps they meant no harm, but when there were many of these urging gazes, even without malice, they could still put psychological pressure on Tang Hao and Tang San!

To kneel or not to kneel?

To listen or not to listen?

"I'd like to examine the token in your hand," Tang Hao said after a moment's thought. "This token shouldn't be in your possession. My suspicions are understandable, aren't they?"

"Wait a minute..." Bai Chenxiang said worriedly.

But before she could finish speaking, Ye Qingcang pressed his finger to her lips.

"Of course." Ye Qingcang already knew the fate of the token when he said this, but if he could use a piece of deep-sea cold iron engraved with patterns to determine the current composition and stance of the Clear Sky Sect, this insignificant sacrifice was worthwhile. With a flick of his wrist, the token shot towards Tang Hao's chest like an arrow, but Tang Hao caught it precisely a dozen centimeters from his chest, placing it in his palm. "Third Elder, Fourth Elder, you two can go and take a look too..."

"Fake..." Tang Hao lowered his eyes slightly, his hand suddenly clenched into a fist. Under the shocked gazes of the Third Elder and Fourth Elder, and the bewildered eyes of Tai Tan, Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He, and everyone else, strands of sand-like cold iron powder flowed from his open fist, scattering onto the ground. Nine Soul Ring rose in succession. Even with a severed arm, the pressure he released was still undeniable. The God of Slaughter Domain activated, and the blue Thunderclap Academy on the Clear Sky Hammer gradually turned blood-red. "You audacious madman, how dare you forge the Chief Elder Token of my Clear Sky Sect, humiliating, deceiving, and bewitching my Clear Sky Sect and Fourth Elder Third Elder! Today, I, Tang Hao, will hammer you to death here!"

"Tang Hao, what the hell are you doing?!" The Third Elder was practically going crazy, roaring, "When the Great Elder left the Clear Sky Sect to pursue his path, you weren't even born yet! What the hell do you know about the Chief Elder Token Chief Elder Token... We haven't even seen it, and you've already destroyed it! You beast without a sect or clan, how the hell did you dare?!"

It's clear that the Third Elder has truly reached the Red Temperature level.

It contains an extremely high amount of maternal essence.

With a stomp of his foot, an aura no weaker than Tang Hao's immediately erupted. He flipped his hand and gripped his Clear Sky Hammer. Although his spirit Soul Ring Configuration Soul Ring Configuration was inferior to Tang Hao's —two yellow, two purple, and five black— Tang Hao's was two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. That red 100,000-Year Spirit Ring gave Tang Hao physical qualities and development potential far exceeding those of ordinary Title Douluo. However, Tang Hao was currently missing an arm, and the Third Elder was only one step away from becoming Super Douluo. Without unleashing the Great Sumeru Hammer, Tang Hao could not suppress the Third Elder by relying solely on his aura.

The Fourth Elder couldn't help but utter a curse word.

However, compared to the hot-tempered Third Elder, this Fourth Elder was more well-mannered.

They did not inquire about Tang Hao's mother.

Looking at the dust at Tang Hao's feet, he trembled with rage. "Damn it! I may be old, but my eyesight isn't failing me, much less blind. Whether it's true or false, you've given me a way to prove it with your dead body... You'll get your retribution! You'll die a horrible death, Tang Hao!"

"Third Elder, are you going to stop me?" Tang Hao heard the Fourth Elder's curse and the Third Elder's insults. The Third Elder was right. When Tang Chen left the Clear Sky Sect, his father was only in his twenties, not even thirty. His mother hadn't even conceived him or his elder Tang Xiao. Let alone seeing the Chief Elder Token, he had only seen Tang Chen in a portrait. But that didn't matter. The past was the past. People had to move on. He couldn't kneel before Ye Qingcang, a junior, for a token of dubious authenticity. His son, Tang San, would never bow down to Ye Qingcang either. So, looking at the Third Elder standing in front of him with the Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao choked the Third Elder with facts, leaving him speechless. "That token is fake. You want to be my enemy for a fraudster... Third Elder, you should think carefully before you speak!"

The Third Elder's expression was extremely conflicted.

He was certain that the token was genuine.

But whether it's real or fake, the token is gone.

Would he really want to become enemies with Tang Hao and his son for the sake of Ye Qingcang, whose identity cannot be verified?

Furthermore, since Ye Qingcang lost the Chief Elder Token, he couldn't even prove his identity. Once they returned to the Clear Sky Sect, could they convince everyone in the Clear Sky Sect based solely on his and the Fourth Elder's testimonies?

Who would believe him?

Who can prove to him that what he said is true?

The Third Elder hesitated.

Hesitation is often a veiled expression of opinion.

"Or do you think that Ye Qingcang, the Asura God Test Taker, will let you go because of your neutrality?" With just one sentence, Tang Hao bound the unwilling Third Elder to his Chariot. Looking at Ye Qingcang and Bai Chenxiang, who was trying to run away by tugging at Ye Qingcang's sleeve, his tone was full of condescending pity. "Clan Chief Bai He, for the sake of you being my mother's brother, I can let bygones be bygones regarding your granddaughter being bewitched, as long as you can make your granddaughter see the true face of this shameless villain. Then, the Speed Clan will still be the Speed Clan of the Clear Sky Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect will surely defeat the Spirit Hall as written in the history books. I promise to treat the Speed Clan equally."

The Bai He remained silent.

His relationship with the Clear Sky Sect is indeed close.

It can be said that despite Tai Tan's unwavering loyalty to Tang Hao Tang Hao wanted to make Tai Tan lose his trust, he only needed to say one word. Being a member of the maternal family is always advantageous in the clan-based Clear Sky Sect, and he can indeed trust the promises Tang Hao makes to him.

But the Clear Sky Sect abandoned them too decisively.

They were heartbroken by the sacrifice.

Can he still trust Tang Hao?

Can he still trust the Clear Sky Sect?

Bai He glanced at his granddaughter's pleading eyes and sighed inwardly.

But Bai Chenxiang seemed to sense something. Looking at the hem of Ye Qingcang's clothes in her hand, she hesitated for a moment, but still grabbed it again, holding it tightly. "Grandpa, are you really willing to believe in the Clear Sky Sect again?"

"We don't believe in the Clear Sky Sect," Tai Tan said proudly, scratching the back of his head, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Tang Hao. "We believe in Young Master Young Master Tang Hao, and we believe in the promises he made!"

"It's really hard to imagine what brand of dog food the Clear Sky Sect uses..." Ye Qingcang raised his arm, shielding Bai Chenxiang behind him. His entire body tensed, and a series of popping sounds, like beans exploding, echoed rhythmically for a second. Unseen by others, he put his body into battle mode. "To raise the Strength Clan dog to be so loyal... Actually, I also really want to raise a loyal dog, especially one as loyal as this Strength Clan patriarch. That way, I can save a lot of expenses. When I need it, I just wave my hand, and it comes running to fight to the death for me. When I don't need it, I just chase it away, and it can find its own food. I don't need to worry about whether it's hungry or not. So, if I have the chance, I'd like to understand the secrets behind this, such as what the recipe for this dog food is."

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

Tai Tan stomped his foot in fury.

Eight Soul Ring rose up in succession.

but...

Are you playing house?

A magnificent spear shot out from within a golden halo that had appeared out of nowhere.

It's guaranteed to win!

Ignore all defenses!

Blood blossomed on the Tai Tan's chest, piercing Tai Tan heart and pinning Tai Tan to the ground with the speed of a fleeting meteor!

This is the Great God Declaration!

Also called Gungnir, Gungnir, Gungnir!

Known as the Spear of Destiny!

Belongs to Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology!

"Too slow..." Only after Tai Tan succumbed to its life in helpless struggle did Ye Qingcang slowly shake his head. In the sudden silence, he commented with a humble yet arrogant tone. "Since you've decided to make a move, there's no need to give your opponent time to prepare. In this respect, your master Tang Hao did a great job, throwing a hammer from afar. Perhaps if I had reacted a little slower, I would be gone... Also, be careful in your next life. When people talk to each other, dogs shouldn't bark randomly. It will not only embarrass the owner but also others. And a dog that only creates embarrassment will ultimately be skinned, stewed, and eaten."

"You're courting death!" Staring at the utterly dead Tai Tan, Tang Hao's eyes flashed with bloodlust. Ignoring the wailing and screaming of Tai Long and the others, his eight Soul Ring, except for his Ninth Soul Ring, shattered instantly, transforming into a terrifying power that coalesced on the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand. "Kid, if you've got guts, take this Great Sumeru Hammer!"

Tang Hao was so angry that he swore.

The reactions of others can be easily imagined.

but...

"Strength and skill are relative..." Ye Qingcang spirit manifested, his eyes gleaming with golden light, his aura soaring to the heavens. A longsword coiled with a blue dragon was spat out by the Gate of Babylon, its cold blade like the moon. It landed in his palm, and with a casual flick of Ye Qingcang's wrist, it became like a blue dragon churning the seas, creating layers of sonic waves. With a single swing, the Sun Moon Empire lost their light, and the dragon's roar shattered the sky, "You are far inferior to Tang Chen. What you rely on is merely the power unleashed by the Great Sumeru Hammer, while what Tang Chen pursues is whether he can perfectly control the power unleashed by the Great Sumeru Hammer. Power that cannot be controlled will only harm oneself and others... One force can break all laws, you are not worthy to do so, Tang Hao!"

The Azure Dragon breaks through the sea, displaying its sharpness and emphasizing a straight line!

The Great Sumeru Hammer: a slow and steady approach, but with a powerful burst of power!

But any outbreak is predicated on...

"Unified Primordial Chaos!" The Azure Dragon roared, and to everyone's disbelief, it was like a sharp scalpel, precisely slicing through the energy waves, Soul Power, and hammerhead of the Great Sumeru Hammer until the blade's edge stopped. Tang Hao's severed leg fell to the ground, transforming into a streak of blood that swept up Tang San and carried him away. The Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, covered in frost, remained unstained by blood, its surface impeccably smooth. "Truly disappointing. Tang Chen's Great Sumeru Hammer Great Sumeru Hammer wields power, while yours is merely controlled by power. Tang Chen determines the trajectory of the next strike, and you determine its momentum... Even if you possess a million jin of strength, if you cannot concentrate it at a single point, your power will always be scattered, uneven, and capable of being severed!"

In terms of explosive power, Guan Yu's Spring and Autumn Blade Technique is number one!

The Great Sumeru Hammer?

Before the Spring and Autumn Blade Technique, even carrying shoes is unworthy!

In fact, the concept behind Tang Hao's Self-Created Soul Skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer, was quite good. It's just that Tang Hao wasted it. The Great Sumeru Hammer's power in Tang Chen's hands was unbelievable. The reason was that Tang Chen didn't use the Great Sumeru Hammer as his primary attack method, but rather as a way to enhance his own strength. Take the bending of the hammer handle while using the Great Sumeru Hammer, for example. Tang Hao's hammer handle bent due to excessive force, a natural bending caused by inertia and acceleration. This phenomenon caused all the power and weight to be concentrated in the hammerhead. If the hammer's curved handle is broken, disrupting its balance, Tang Hao's strength will be like hitting cotton, completely powerless. However, the Great Sumeru Hammer in Tang Chen's hand, whether the handle is bent or not depends on Tang Chen himself. Its flexibility even surpasses that of ordinary cold weapons. What seems like a blow with a bent handle to the head, when you are about to take it head-on, Tang Chen often grips the handle and lifts it upwards. The force will cause the hammer head, which concentrates weight and power, to draw a reverse arc, bypassing your raised weapon at a faster speed and smashing your face or sternum/abdomen.

Therefore, for Tang Hao, the head of the Clear Sky Hammer is the weapon to kill enemies, while for Tang Chen, the handle and body of the Clear Sky Hammer are the weapons to subdue enemies.

This changes the true meaning of the Great Sumeru Hammer.

Because it wasn't originally intended as an offensive tactic.

In Tang Chen's hands, the eighty-one strikes of the Disorderly Wind Hammer Technique are crucial, while the Great Sumeru Hammer serves as an amplification. It is precisely because of this amplification that he was able to fight to a draw with Qian Daoliu, who used divine power. Therefore, the Great Sumeru Hammer only raised his upper limit, while his extremely high lower limit was determined by his own Soul Power and hammer technique.

Ye Qingcang has undergone three transformations, is able to kill Tang Chen.

Even after four transformations, Ye Qingcang could still kill Tang Hao.

However, now is not the time to kill Tang Hao.

Tang San can fish.

Tang Hao can also fish.

Killing Tang Hao without luring Lord of the Plane out would be a waste.

"Since they're enemies, we should naturally squeeze every last drop of value out of them before killing them." Watching Tang Hao's fleeing figure, Ye Qingcang slung the fake Azure Dragon Crescent Blade behind his back, stepped onto the air steps, and landed beside Bai Chenxiang. He temporarily ignored the many members of the Strength Clan who had been subdued by the Speed Clan, Breaking Clan, and Defense Clan, turned his head, and looked at the stunned Third Elder and Fourth Elder of the Clear Sky Sect. His black eyes remained calm and unwavering. "For Tang Chen's sake, I'll spare your lives. Go back and tell the Clear Sky Sect that those who are willing to surrender to me should come to the Blue Tyrant Academy and obey my orders. Those who are unwilling to surrender should prepare for death... Don't say I didn't give you a chance to live. If you can't seize it, that's your problem."

"Understood..." the Fourth Elder replied in a low voice.

Carefully scoop up the iron filings from the ground.

I hesitated for a long time.

Finally, the iron powder was placed into the Storage Soul Tool.

The Third Elder, having survived the ordeal, nodded in relief.

Thinking of Tang Hao, who had just tricked her and abandoned her to run away, and then looking at Ye Qingcang in front of her, she couldn't help but feel resentment and hatred towards Tang Hao.

He lowered his head and responded with a sound of shame.

He exchanged a glance with the Fourth Elder, then stepped into the air and flew away.

"As for this Soul Bone..." Ye Qingcang took Tang Hao's severed leg, and with a casual press, the blood-soaked leg turned to ashes, revealing a Soul Bone about the size of a palm in his hand. "Clan Chief Yang, Clan Chief Niu, Clan Chief Bai, which of you three dares to accept it?"
